Timeline

* 1910 - Malady Eden Norwood is born in Northern Louisiana, America to wealthy British immigrants.

* 1910 - Her parents are wealthy plantation owners which keeps them away on business for weeks on end. For most of Malady’s early childhood, she is taken care of by her Creole nanny, Maria. She comes to think of Maria as a second mother.

* 1917 - During a particularly cold winter, Malady suddenly falls ill and doesn’t ever seem to recuperate. She is plagued with fatigue and remains bed-ridden most days. Her parents, although still busy, dote on her completely, fulfilling her every whim, no matter how exorbitant. She remains especially close to her nanny during this time who entertains her with bed time stories of and voodoo.

* 1920 ~ 1925 - It appears as if Malady will never recover from her illness. If anything, she is becoming worse. Her parents fret over her in a superficial way; they spend their wealth on the best doctors money can buy, but none of whom can find the cause of Malady’s sickness. Some even suggest that her affliction is psychological. Her parents refuse to believe it.

* 1925 - Malady’s condition suddenly takes a turn for the worse. She takes a trip to New Orleans with her nanny, Maria, where she is introduced to her daughter Elsie who is around her age. Malady realises that Elsie is the true object of her nanny’s affections and feels utterly betrayed. When Malady returns home, she is overcome with fever, shakes and sores. Her bed nurses pity her and Malady secretly relishes in the attention.

* 1926 - Malady’s parents have gone through most doctors in America’s southern region and decide to bring in a specialist from abroad. Camilla Sutton arrives from London two months later. She visits Malady two times a week at evening. She indulges Malady in all of her conceived illnesses. Maria is incredibly distrustful of the doctor and voices her suspicions. Although Malady’s condition never improves, it is maintained by Dr. Camilla Sutton.

* 1927 - While away on business, there is a freak fire in the hotel her parents are staying at and both of them perish in the blaze. Malady inherits the entire estate and withdraws from society completely, staying locked in her bedroom. The only two people she will allow to see her are Maria and her doctor.

* 1928 - On the eve of her 18th birthday, she is paid an unexpected visit by Camilla. Once alone, Camilla suddenly attacks her. Malady is frail and cannot fight her off. She succumbs to the bite … and dies.

* ??? - Malady wakes up a number of years later. Everyone is gone. Her parents. Her doctor. Her nanny. She is starved, but no matter what she eats, it makes her feel sick. She discovers she is a ghost and haunts the now empty manor, frightening anyone who dares to venture inside.

* ??? - The longer she roams the walls of her vacant home, the more desperate she becomes to return to her former life. She clings onto what few memories she has left. All she can remember of the night before she was killed is her nanny begging her to eat something because it would give her strength.

* ??? - Malady obsesses over this final memory until every word is ingrained in her skull. She must eat. She comes to the conclusion that this is her unfinished business. She stops frightening away visitors and invites them in for supper instead.

* 2012 - Alec McMahon and Anthea Hall discover Malady when they're attempting to ransack her manor. She attempts to invite them in for tea, but finds they aren't like the others. They're vampires. She decides she's tired of haunting her old house and comes with them.

* 2014 - They leave England and move to Sydney to establish themselves as Anarchs. Malady is surprised to see so many other vampires. She doesn't understand their politics but enjoys their company nonetheless.

Rumours

• Is actually a ghost, not a vampire.
  • But the way she talks about how she 'becomes real' is frankly, disturbing.
